A few good reads I discovered while recovering from my 16 mile training run over the weekend in preparation for the upcoming New York marathon next month.

1. Transitioning between consulting projects -  Random reflections by Jimmy Boggard that contain good insights on the effect that absorbing new team members has on productivity and team dynamics. The post also has some good suggestions about focusing the majority of the modeling effort on the most critical, difficult, and volatile parts of the domain model.
2. Top 10 Things That Annoy Programmers – One of the rare top 10 lists that don’t suck. I identified with all the items on the list, but if I had to pick the three biggest annoyances I would go with: interruptions (#9), documenting my applications (#6), and self-evident code comments (#10).
3. For Fun: Bank Robber Hires Accomplices on Craigslist – A news gem that I found on Bruce Schenier’s blog. This is by far the most intelligent use of a web 2.0 social networking site that I’ve seen yet.
